Contract?
Upon hearing Yan Guilai's words, the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race widened their eyes.
Right now, they couldn't do without Yan Guilai's help. If Yan Guilai didn't help them, they really wouldn't be able to continue.
The Chu royal family was already completely rotten. Even if they were willing to hand over military authority to the Great Chu royalty, they still wouldn't be able to fork out that much money to arm their troops.
The decay of a dynasty definitely wasn't limited to the decay of the royal family, but the decay of the entire hierarchy of power and the decay of the entire bureaucratic system. This was already beyond redemption.
Unless they could capture all the officials of the Great Chu royalty and confiscate their belongings, they still wouldn't be able to scrape together that much money.
Chu Wuqing thought that he had amassed countless riches and was as rich as a nation. However, in reality, most of the money in his possession was only in the form of banknotes. He simply couldn't fork out real money.
One had to know that the banknotes were jointly issued under the supervision of the Five Great Imperial Advisors. From a hundred years ago until now, the total amount was fixed. Even the Great Chu royalty had no right to issue banknotes or gold banknotes.
Almost all of humanity's real money had been corrupted by the various levels of bureaucrats and stored away in their respective treasure vaults.
To be honest, even if they confiscated the belongings of all the officials, they probably wouldn't be able to find much real money. After all … the treasure vaults were all located in secret places that weren't easy to find.
Therefore, Yan Guilai could totally raise the price and make any request that they wouldn't be able to refuse.
However, not only did Yan Guilai not make any requests, but he was also willing to sign a contract with them. In this way, their transactions would be completely limited to the commercial realm. There wouldn't be any need for them to owe each other any favors.
Yan Guilai couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that the Seven Great Generals were all shocked, but no one was willing to move. He instructed Liu Yan to fetch a brush and paper so that he could quickly write.
Very quickly, Yan Guilai's brush moved at a rapid pace. A standard IOU was quickly completed.
Bai Bing looked at Yan Guilai in confusion. She took the IOU and read it carefully. Soon … Bai Bing's eyes widened.
Bai Bing abruptly raised her head and said, "This won't do. If … this is a business transaction, then the interest won't be 30%. It will definitely be 50%!"
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai continued, "Fifty percent interest, with your identities and positions as the seven great generals of the humankind, you should be able to get a loan from the bank, right? There's no need for me! "
Shaking her head, Bai Bing said, "That's not the same. First of all, it's impossible for the bank to lend out so much money. Secondly, the bank can't lend out real money. They can only give out gold and silver notes."
This …
Looking at Bai Bing with a bitter smile, Yan Gui Lai was speechless. What kind of world was this? He took the initiative to ask for a lower interest rate, and the other party was the one who rejected it. No one would believe it if he were to tell others about it.
Looking at Yan Guilai's wry smile, Bai Bing said, "Since you want to purely commercialize, then we have to follow the commercialization. We, the seven great generals, won't deceive ourselves."
While speaking, Bai Bing turned to look at You Zai. She frowned and said, "Cancel the IOU on your side. We, the seven great generals of the humankind, will advance and retreat together."
You Zai nodded decisively and said, "No problem. We'll do as you say."
Bai Bing nodded and turned to look at Yan Guilai. She said in a deep voice, "We'll borrow a total of seven hundred million taels of gold and seventy billion taels of silver. As for bronze …"
Listening to Bai Bing's endless calculations, Yan Guilai couldn't help but smile wryly. Anyway, no matter what, the humankind could continue to exist after obtaining this wealth.
Soon, Bai Bing finished her calculations and said seriously, "According to the ratio of three to one for gold, ten to one for silver, and one hundred to one for bronze, we owe you a total of ten billion taels of gold!"
Yan Guilai shrugged helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter to me. As long as you're happy …"
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Bai Bing's face suddenly turned red. However, she couldn't say a word.
Where were they going to get ten billion taels of gold to return to Yan Guilai? In fact … according to the five percent interest, they couldn't earn that much.
Just as Yan Guilai said, although the name had changed, in fact, the essence hadn't. Anyway, no matter how they signed, they couldn't return it.
Soon, the formal contract was signed. According to the ratio of one to ten, Yan Guilai lent seven hundred million taels of gold and seventy billion taels of silver to the seven great generals of the humankind.
As for bronze, it was in great demand. When refining weapons, the amount of bronze used was sixty to seventy percent. It was calculated in tons.
In short, Yan Guilai took out seventy percent of all his income. Once the handover was completed, the seven great generals of the humankind would owe him a total of ten billion taels of gold. Just the interest alone would be five hundred million taels of gold.
Soon, the seven great generals of the humankind signed the contract. This also meant that this contract was jointly owed by the seven great generals. This debt would also be jointly borne by the seven of them.
Of course, until now, the contract hadn't officially taken effect. It would only take effect after Yan Guilai had paid all the promised wealth.
After discussing the contract, Yan Guilai said, "Alright, next … you guys go back and prepare the warehouse as soon as possible. After I finish the second round of Aoki University's assessment, the handover will be completed."
Nodding, Bai Bing said, "No problem, we'll go back and prepare now. After you finish the second round of assessment, we'll immediately complete the transaction."
After agreeing with each other, the group quickly turned and left.
Now, it was urgent for the army to change their equipment. Therefore … they had to prepare the warehouse as soon as possible and contact the weapon refiners. There was a lot of work to be done.
Originally, You Zai also wanted to leave immediately. However, how could Yan Guilai let him go?
Grabbing You Zai, Yan Guilai said, "No, you can't leave. Where's the wine you promised me?"
Facing Yan Guilai's demand, You Zai slapped his head. Only now did he remember the promise he had made.
Without saying anything, You Zai waved his hand and ten warm jade bottles appeared in front of Yan Guilai.
Smiling bitterly at Yan Guilai, You Zai said, "I'm sorry, I can only give you ten bottles. If you give me more, we'll have to cancel our special award."
Facing the ten jade bottles filled with divine-grade marrow cleansing spirit liquid, Yan Guilai didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, he put them all away.
Chuckling, Yan Guilai looked at You Zai and said, "Alright, how much is this wine? Name a price!"
You Zai glared at Yan Gui Lai and said, "Right now, you're our biggest creditor. You also know that the money we borrowed from you, I'm afraid we won't be able to return it in this lifetime. So, what's the point of talking about money with me now?"
Shrugging helplessly, Yan Guilai said, "Alright, this wine is very important to me. I won't say anything unnecessary. Anyway, thank you very much."
You Zai nodded and said, "It's a pity that Boss left behind too little divine marrow cleansing spirit liquid before he left. Otherwise, I could give you more."
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai said, "It doesn't matter. These ten bottles are enough. One shouldn't be too greedy, right?"
